After replacing bushings at my 914/4 -72 tailshift and re-adjusting the linkage I have a almost perfect shift in any gears and at any speed.
The only problem (right now) is that when starting cold in the morning (say 50-55F) there is a grind when shifting into 2nd. This is during the first minutes only, after that shifting into 2nd is like a dream again. The grind is wery noisy, almost as I try to get in reverse. I run Swepco 201. Any ideas? /Lars S |

Solved my original problem which was:
when starting cold in the morning (say 50-55F) there is a grind when shifting into 2nd. This is during the first minutes only, after that shifting into 2nd is like a dream again. The grind is wery noisy, almost as I try to get in reverse. -First I tried another 80W/90 GL5 oil type, no significant change. -Second I tightened the clutch wire, no significant change. -Third, after realising that the grind noise was actually the reverse being hit, I made a one spline twist at the shifting rod (in the tunnel) - this solved the problem! No more grinding in any gear only one new problem: 1st gear sits wery hard, when shifting fom 1st into 2nd a lot of force has to be used before 1st comes out of its "interlock". Any thoughts about this? /Lars S |
